It's pretty much impossible on Windows and Linux, since there's no consistent way to access dictionaries on those platforms, and I'm not going to ship a multilingual dictionary with Ripcord. I'll have to do some research and see how hard it is on Mac. I suspect that actually checking the spelling of strings is easy, but having the popup panels and stuff for applying corrections and further user interaction is much more difficult, since Ripcord isn't built from Cocoa widgets. | ||||
john35 — 2019-04-10 05:23:54This would be a really nice feature to have. I know there are a few libraries out there that could probably be integrate with even if it required people to download their own dictionaries. http://hunspell.github.io/ https://codejamming.org/implementing-spellchecking-in-desktop-application-in-c/ | ||||

I don't know how Glib linkage works with Qt applications, but I have had good success with libgspell personally. |
